Modules Dialog Box
The Modules dialog box opens when you select the > menu option. It enables you to control the module hierarchy of your stylesheet, by creating new modules, adding or removing existing modules and changing the position of modules in the hierarchy.
The Modules dialog box contains the following options:
• Module Hierarchy - Displays the module hierarchy of current stylesheet. The hierarchy is presented as a tree with the root module at the top of the tree. Any additional modules in the hierarchy appear as nodes in the tree. You can use the controls in the tree to open and close module nodes. The title or base filename of a module also appears in the tree. Read-only modules have a lock icon over their regular icon
and the title text grayed out.
The position of a node in the module hierarchy determines its precedence in the hierarchy. Mergeable definitions in nodes higher in the hierarchy override identically named definitions that are lower in the hierarchy. The following stylesheet components are considered mergeable definitions:
◦ Elements
◦ Property sets
◦ Page sets
◦ Header and footer objects
◦ Table of contents format objects
◦ Cross reference objects
◦ Custom table objects
◦ Size definitions
◦ Combined font definitions
• New - Opens the New Module dialog box, in which you can create a new module. The new module is added to the hierarchy as the last child module of the selected module.
• Add - Opens the Add Module dialog box, where you can add existing .style files as an additional module to the hierarchy. The module is added to the hierarchy as the last child module of the selected module.
• Remove - Removes the selected module from the hierarchy. The module is only removed from the module hierarchy. It is not deleted from the file system.
• Edit - Opens the Edit Module dialog box, where you can edit the name and description of the selected module.
• Move Up - Enables you to move the selected module up one position in its level in the hierarchy.
• Move Down - Enables you to move the selected module down one position in its level in the hierarchy.
| You can only reorder modules at the same level in the hierarchy. To move a module to a different level in the hierarchy, remove the module from the hierarchy and add it back at the desired level. |
